Sundown tells the story of Joe, a young man coming to terms with the fact that his grandmother has dementia and can no longer remember him. Having been raised by his grandparents, Joe is faced with a tough moral dilemma; to acknowledge his grandmother's deteriorating state, or continue living in denial and avoiding responsibility.

Conceived and produced in a time before global tragedy struck, Heirloom confronts us with the possibility of sudden loss and the need for consolation in whatever form it may come. Now, in a time where death seems so much closer, the film gains an almost visionary relevance. Following Caro, who, lost in grief after the death of her partner, discovers an unexpected parting gift, Heirloom examines the impact of loss and the power of a thoughtful gesture. Almost entirely without dialogue, the film harnesses strong performance and simple, lingering visuals to arrive at the question: What will you leave behind?Despite the dark subject matter it deals with, the film unleashes an infectious energy that opens our eyes for the road ahead in a time when all we know and treasure seems to lie behind us.
